How to provide samba shares 

amba to share files from Unix(solaris) to Windows

for example we need to share a file(/volumes/v1/home1/tstusr2/publishing) under solaris(nlxsl299)  to windows(199.6.144.158) and for speciifed windows users(testusr tstusr2)

1)check whether /etc/sfw/smb.conf file exits are not

a)cd /etc/sfw/

b) nlxs:a5627> cat smb.conf
   comment = nlwsl600 to nlxsl299
   host allow = 199.6.144.158
   path = /volumes/v1/home1/tstusr2/publishing
   valid users = testusr tstusr2
   public = no
   writable = yes
   printable = no
   create mask = 0765

you can cat if smb.conf file if exits otherwise we need to create smb.conf file (for creating smb.conf file cp -p smb.conf-example smb.conf)

c)svcs -a |grep -i samba

nlxs:a5627> svcs -a |grep -i samba
enable    Feb_15   svc:/network/samba:default
nlxsl299:a511627>

d)svcadm refresh svc:/network/samba:default


cat /etc/hosts |grep -i 199.6.144.158

199.6.144.158


To find out shares from unix server

nlxs:a5627>smbclient -L localhost -N


For checking smbastatus

=========================================================================================================

Instructions :

confirm from the user from uinx server we need to share file to which windows server ask IP of windows server

confirm what permisiion should samba shared filesystem should be there

confrim for which users we need to give samba shares

confrim for which specific host samba should be shared

check whether windows Ip is there in etc/hosts file of server otherwise add it to hosts file


comment = nlwsl600 to nlxsl299-------------------------------------------give commnet related to share its not mandiatory
   host allow = 199.6.144.158--------------------------------------------Windows server Ip to which we are sharing files from solaris (nlxsl299) if we want to allow share for all machines jst ignore hosts allow
   path = /volumes/v1/home1/tstusr2/publishing---------------------------Files to be shared
   valid users = testusr tstusr2-----------------------------------------We are giving access to share to this specified users in windows machine
   public = no-----------------------------------------------------------if Public=no nobody can share it accept valid users
   writable = yes---------------------------------------------------------users are having write permissions
   printable = no----------------------------------------------------------its not printable
   create mask = 0765-----------------------------------------------permission to that file
